Weather in Albufeira today

There was precipitation last night! A thin drizzle was falling at around 1130 and the ground was still damp first thing this morning. Most unexpected and rather peculiar.

But it is a sunny morning again, there are a few streaks of high cloud. Temperature at 0915am is 13.4º, so not as warm as yesterday. Expecting a high today of 19 or 20º. There is a light wind from the north which will be with us all day.

Tonight will be around 10 or 11º.

The next couple of days will be much the same, but a cold front is heading our way which will quite likely bring some rain over the weekend and on Monday.

Low cloud this morning but it is starting to break up now the sun is coming up. Temperature at 0805am is 14.5º, so a bit warmer than yesterday. There is barely any wind. It will be a bit cloudy all day with top temperature around 20º.

It won't be cold tonight, 13 or 14º at worst. The wind will increase and bring with it light rain for tomorrow. That's expected to be with us from early morning until lunchtime. It won't be warm as it has been, 16 or 17º. Sunday is also likely to be a rainy day.

Next week will be a bit unsettled with showers likely almost any time with daytime temperatures between 16 and 19º, night-times 9 to 13º.

Very cloudy this morning, lots of dark grey. There has been some light rain, but it is dry now. Temperature at 1000am is 16.1º.

It will stay cloudy today and there is a good chance of a second spell of wind and rain this afternoon. Maximum temperature will be about 18º.

It won't be cold tonight, lowest temperature 15 - 16º. There might be some showers during the night. Then Monday should be a dry day to follow, but fairly windy. The rest of the week will be mainly dry, but cloudy with a chance of showers and around 20º in the  daytime, but colder at night especially towards the end of the week.

It is cloudy this morning, also a bit windy. Temperature at 0905m is 15.2º.  It will stay cloudy, with the wind increasing as the day goes on. It should stay dry for most of the day, but there is the chance of some showers early evening. Maximum temperature around 19º.

It won't be too cold tonight, not lower than 12 or 13º. There will be little change over the coming days, a mix of sunny spells between clouds and almost no chance of rain.

I am off on a little trip until Saturday. Remember that you can check the local forecast in English at http://www.ipma.pt/en/otempo/prev.localidade.hora/#Faro&Albufeira

I am returned from a very windy and a bit rainy Elvas to bright sunshine here in Albufeira. At 0800 it was 13º and just over an hour later it's 14.5º and a sunny day is forecast.

The light wind is from the north, it is very dry air. A good drying day. Maximum today maybe only 21º but the temperatures will rise during the week to perhaps as high as 27º. The nights will get warmer, 12 or 13º at lowest. There is the forecast says, zero chance of rain for the next seven days.  This is not good news for the farmers and growers, let alone the water supply industry. Coming down from Lisbon on the train yesterday I was struck by how dry everything looks.

Sunny again this morning although it is expected to cloud over a bit this afternoon Temperature at 0930am is 14.7º, there is a light wind. It's not such dry air as has been. Temperature this afternoon is expected to be 23 or 24º.

Tonight it will be around 13º along the coast, maybe 11º inland.

A warmer day is expected tomorrow, could be as high as 26º, even warmer Wednesday they say with a likely shift in the wind direction bringing warm air up from the south. Whatever it's going to be a dry and sunny few days ahead. Come the weekend, there's a chance of a shower or two and it will be cooler, but still warm for mid March.

It did turn out really hot yesterday and is set to be even hotter today.

Temperature at 0850am is 16.9º, there is some high cloud and a light wind. Even with that cloud, the forecast says we could have 27º this afternoon, very high for early March. It will be fairly windy this afternoon with a change of direction to be coming from the southeast rather than the north. It will be fairly warm again tonight, no lower than about 13º.

Cooler weather is on the way after today, only 21 - 23º in the daytime, 10 or 11 at night but it's still not likely to rain.

For hay fever sufferers, the mimosa is in full flower so be ready.
